International Drying Corp.
About IDC
International Drying Corporation shares a rich 30-year history with a previous little-known company called Aerojet. It was their discovery of the value of axial fans to drying power the could produce up to 9600 cfm of air flow. In 1982 the company was sold to Worldwide Drying Company in Denver, Colorado and the dryers flourished with wise minded wash owners. Sometime later Worldwide discontinued manufacturing and distribution of car wash dryers and in 2003 International Drying Corporation (IDC) entered the scene. It was determined that International Drying Corporation, a Chicago based corporation would continue the legacy of efficient wash dryers into the 21st century but make them more efficient and quiet. We designed additional dryers the first being our original quiet dryer The “Whisper” and then continued engineering and developed the Stealth which as of 2018 has proven to be the most “Quiet” and efficient dryer on the market. Most recently we added the functional and unique “Back Blasters” which hits the side panels and backs of vehicles which is often missed with most existing blowers. We still carry the original Worldwide line and have continued to develop new and relevant blowers. We expect to release new products in 2022! We hold fast to the same philosophy of our predecessor, “Build a Dryer with Efficiency to last a Lifetime.”
